    WQSI (93.9 FM, "FM Talk 93.9") is an American radio station broadcasting a news/talk format. Licensed to Union Springs, Alabama, the station serves the Auburn, Alabama, area.[3] The station is currently owned by Tiger Communications, Inc.[4]

    On May 4, 2020, WQSI and its talk format moved to 93.9 FM Union Springs, swapping frequencies with alternative rock-formatted WTGZ.[5]

    Programming

    [edit]

    Syndicated music programming once included America's Grand Ole Opry Weekend from Westwood One.[6] Auburn didn't really take to the classic country format, and in the summer of 2014 the music gave way to a conservative news/talk format. (Taken from Alabama Broadcast Media Page) Now as a talk station notable programs include Don Imus in the Morning, The Paul Finebaum Show, The Savage Nation with Dr Michael Savage and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.

    Ownership

    [edit]

    In November 2005, Tiger Communications Inc. (Thomas Hayley, president) reached an agreement to acquire WBIL and WQSI from H&H Communications LLC (Fred R. Hughey, member) for a reported combined sale price of $350,000.[7] The FCC approved the deal on February 13, 2006, and the transaction was consummated on April 6, 2006.[8]

    Awards and honors

    [edit]

    As a country music formatted station, WQSI on-air personality Pat Julian was nominated for a Country Music Association Award as "Small Market Broadcast Personality of the Year" in 1983.[9]
